Has to be Kolo Toure for me.
Been a totally different player.

I don't think that Toure was most improved last season. Surely it was Hart?

Kolo Toure is merely getting back to his natural level after few seasons of underachievement.

Andy Johnson. From literal nobody to future world star winger. All I can say is WOW.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Whilst not the most improved, Mad Zab does not make me as nervous as he used to. His passing, timing of a tackle and general all round play have come on leaps and bounds.

HAHA

Don't know why I typed Andy. Weird. I've never even rated him!

I have to say the majority of last seasons players seem to have come on in leeps and bounds this term

I agree mate. Another of the little incremental things that make people warm to Mancini. The starkest contrast has to be Kolo though - I think the arrival of his brother has really made him step up, whether consciously or not.

The fact that we can name more than a handful of players who have made big improvements makes me really happy. I'm glad to see AJ worked on his stamina towards the end of last season and is scoring for fun just at the moment, delighted Nige is looking to improve his shooting (and has already improved his passing), very glad Kolo is showing the consistency this season that his occasional displays last season hinted at - I could go on about Barry, Zabs, Micah (though there are still occasional lapses), Hart (more a case of sustaining last season's improvements really), Jo (who I have a soft spot for really, and has earned his first team inclusion) and very probably several more that slip my mind at the time of typing. Exciting times and I can't wait for our next match.
